Chapter 166: Setting up Camp on the Southern Bank

"General! Lord's orders!" A scout led a Feng Manlou dark guard to Yan Liang.

Yan Liang sat in the county government office in Chaoge. They marched at night and rushed hundreds of miles to attack Chaoge County. Although a few messengers escaped from the Cao army seeking reinforcements, they quickly captured Chaoge County and the situation is under control. Currently, the troops are in the process of rest and reorganization.

Yan Liang received the letter delivered by the undercover and read it with contemplation.

袁绍命他按照攻破朝歌、延津渡后,再攻占酸枣县,利用酸枣县据守,同时搬离乌巢百姓,乌巢方圆二十里以内,不允许任何人出入!

Yan Liang knows that Yuan Shao and those strategists must have a plan, but he can't figure it out. He also knows that he is just a warrior, so he decides not to think about it too much.

However, they still need to rest for a whole day before marching, considering they have already launched a surprise attack for hundreds of miles and then engaged in a siege for an hour. If they want to continue marching, they must first recuperate.

Yan Liang heard that the army of Cao Cao is capable of launching consecutive attacks on several cities, which made him somewhat envious. If he also had such a unit, he could directly attack Yanjin.

Main camp of Cao Jun

"Report to the Lord, there is a carrier pigeon message!"

Carrier pigeon message, this is a special way of transmitting information by Mingjing Hall. Pigeons can fly and fly relatively fast, and can recognize directions. As long as pigeons are tamed, they can be used to improve the speed of delivering messages.

Cao Cao instructed someone to untie the letter tied to the pigeon's leg and asked a Mingjing guard to decipher the text on it.

The letters sent by the Ming Mirror Hall of the Cao army, regardless of the nature of the matter, are written using codes, and deciphering the text requires the corresponding codebook. A mark indicating which codebook to use will also be made on the letter, ensuring that even if the Ming Mirror Hall's letters are intercepted, it is almost impossible to obtain Cao Cao's intelligence. There will be no situations like in history when Cao Cao's urgent grain supply letters were intercepted by Xu You, almost exposing the truth.

Quickly, the Mingjing guard translated the text above and conscientiously left the central military tent.

"Yan Liang has already captured Chaoge City and is currently resting," Cao Cao handed the letter to Guo Jia and others.

After looking at the letter, Guo Jia handed it over to the others and said, "Currently, it is hard to tell what is true or false. However, it should be similar to what we expected."

"Should we send reinforcements to Yanjin? This will allow them to safely cross the Yellow River."

"No need, no matter what, Yuan Shao will still cross the Yellow River. Even if we make our intention clear, he will still lead his entire army to cross the Yellow River and set up camp on the south bank. Because deep down, Yuan Shao cares about his reputation, what he wants is to defeat us!" Guo Jia smiled, even though Yuan Shao has changed over the years and doesn't care about his reputation as much as before, but a person's inherent character is difficult to change.

"Ziliann's character is still impulsive, and I'm worried. Zhongde, you go help Ziliann and help him guard Dongjun!" After thinking for a while, Cao Cao decided to send Cheng Yu out. Cheng Yu had a steady personality and a sharp vision. With him there, Cao Cao didn't need to worry too much about the Yuan army infiltrating from Dongjun."

"Yes!" Cheng Yu saluted and left the tent, then Cao Cao turned his gaze to Xun You. "Gongda, are you willing to go to the Inspectorate and assist Xu Gongming?"

Xun You's expressionless face showed no emotion, but he pondered for a moment.

Obviously, Cao Cao sent him to Sili with the intention of not just helping Xu Gongming defend the region, but also for other purposes. However, part of the reason must be to keep an eye on the Kuiniu Army. Xu Huang is an honest and straightforward person, and Cao Cao doesn't have too much suspicion towards him. However, there are many soldiers under Xu Huang who used to serve under Yang Feng, which makes Cao Cao worry that there might be some ulterior motives from the Emperor's party during this war, and the best target would be Xu Huang's Kuiniu Army.

Moreover, due to Xu Huang's loyal and affectionate nature, combined with his relationship with Yang Feng, Cao Cao also worried about the possibility of any conspiracy between them. However, Cao Cao genuinely valued Xu Huang.

I hope the Komeito Party will not let me down.

Cao Cao stood with crossed hands, looking at the map, feeling a mix of emotions.

Of course, the reason for sending Xun You is that Xun You comes from the Xun family of Yingchuan. If he were sent to the wealthy and influential Sili region, his status would be enough to help Xu Huang suppress any disloyal aristocrats. At the same time, Xun You appears to be very dull and foolish, but in reality, he is extremely intelligent while seeming foolish, which can deceive those with disloyal thoughts.

Xun You's face, with its expressionless look, revealed a hint of a smile. "I am naturally willing."

Cao Cao patted Xun You's shoulder and said earnestly, "Gongda, be cautious in all matters! If we lose the official position of the Inspector, so be it, but your life is the most important."

Xun You smiled bitterly and shook his head. "My lord, there is no danger for me to go. I will stay behind to guard the commandery for you!"

Guo Jia lightly punched Xun You's chest. "You idiot, don't be careless and put yourself in danger. After this battle, I'll treat you to a drink. I have a ten-year-old Du Kang wine stored in the cellar! I haven't even tasted it myself!"

Xun You lightly smiled and said, "My lord, Fengxiao, don't worry. I will set off then."

In the main tent, only Cao Cao, Guo Jia, and Xi Zhicai remained. Although the strategists of Cao's army were scattered, Cao Cao had ordered them to guard their respective areas, but he did not forbid them from launching attacks.

————————————————————————————————————

Three days later, news came that Yan Liang captured the Yanjin crossing, seized the opportunity to cross the Yellow River, and reached the south bank of the river. Taking advantage of their victory, they attacked Suanzao County and then halted their advance.

After a few more days, Yuan's forces dispatched Wen Chou to launch a surprise attack on Baimajin. In order to ensure the safety of the central camp of Cao's army, Cao Cao ordered the entire army's camps to retreat fifty miles, but they did not abandon Baima County. Shortly after, Yuan Shao's massive army slowly crossed the Yellow River, and more than twenty thousand troops all arrived at the south bank of the river.

Later, Yuan Jun dispatched his veteran general, Chunyu Qiong, to lead an army of 50,000 and stationed them at Wuchao. In just a few days, Chunyu Qiong rapidly transformed Wuchao into a massive transit grain warehouse. This demonstrates the strong capabilities of Chunyu Qiong, as it is unlikely that anyone else would have been able to accomplish such a feat in such a short period of time.

Deer horns, watchtowers, masts, and defensive facilities are all in place. Meanwhile, Chunyu Qiong also collaborated with Xu You, nearly eliminating all the Mingjing Guards in Suanzao County and other princes' spies.
